It's actually impressive how fast they've screwed their own platform. I've been on the platform for a handful of years, give or take. For a long while I loved it, and then they disabled the private messages, then shortly after the personal feed just went belly up. Nowadays I dread trying to find new stories to read, like it's honestly a pain. When I hyper fixate on a fandom, I ALWAYS read as many of the stories on AO3 as possible, and only turn to Wattpad when the other well has dried out. It's fucking sad, because in the past I barely ever touched AO3 (which was a mistake) but now I'm borderline compelled to do so in order to avoid Wattpad.
